April 18th, Saturday, Fed Bees Sugar Syrup

Saturday evening at 7:00pm, approximately 75 degrees. Hive #1: Not too much activity but that's to be expected this time of day. Opened top cover and saw that feeder was not empty from what I fed them on April 5th, which is about two weeks. I did not pour in anymore syrup and hope they finish off this medicated syrup. I will wait until one week from today and do a complete inspection and look for queen.

Hive #2: very active even at this time of day. Feeder is completely dry. This is good because I know they have ingested the antibiotic to fight Nosema. I filled feeder up with sugar syrup mixed with Honey B Healthy, which contains essential oils to help strengthen the bees.
